The Alabama Homeschooling website was created to keep Alabama homeschoolers "in the know". There is so much homeschooling information out there, it can be a little overwhelming and sometimes a little hard to find. The Alabama Homeschooling website is our attempt to make this part of homeschooling a little easier. The Alabama Homeschooling website is the official website of Everest Academy but offers information FREE to all Alabama homeschoolers.

Everest Academy is a ministry of Everest Family Church in Hayden.
We offer freedom along with quality resources, information, activities and support to those homeschooling in Alabama. We believe that the parent has the best interests of their children at heart. We believe that the parent is the first and only teacher that a child needs. In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off church "cover" school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children. We ask only for what the law requires while offering support along with quality resources to aid families in their efforts.

Does your kiddo have a talent that they would like to share? Do they play an instrument, write poetry, draw, sing, dance, have a passion for something that they would like to share, ect. ? Well this is an opportunity for them to show it off and give some very special people a wonderful day full of smiles.

We are having a talent show at the Birmingham Nursing and Rehab Center. This will be our second talent show here and the residents love the kids! They enjoyed the last show that they have requested to have us back.

If your kiddos aren't into the talent show thing there is still something special for them to participate in. A lot of these residents get little to no visitors. I know it would mean a lot to them just to have someone take a second to ask them how they are or maybe even just give them a hug and a smile.

So if you want to add a little sunshine to someones day then please RSVP by May 18 here: http://www.alabamahomeschooling.com/2011/09/iserve-homeschool-service-club.html. If you have questions, please contact Jen Bohan at jenbohan77@gmail.com. If your kiddo is planning on participating in the talent show, please post to the event listing on the Facebook page what he or she would like to do and how much time you think they would need so that I can plan accordingly.

Please make sure that you provide all the materials your child needs for his/her performance. The nursing home will have table and chairs for us, but that is just about it. We need to make sure we bring what we need.

If we have a ton of participation, I may have to stop accepting participants. I will post if/when this happens, so be sure to post on this event if your child is going to participate and how much time they will need.
